Breast asymmetry correction is performed for breasts that differ in shape, size, volume or position. To restore symmetry to the female breast, a combination of techniques is often used. Breast asymmetry is common, affecting more than half of all women. If your breast asymmetry causes you concern or has a negative impact on your self-esteem and confidence, you may wish to have surgery to equalize sizes of your breasts.
Causes of Breast Asymmetry
Breast asymmetry is nothing to worry about – it’s actually quite common.
Breast asymmetry can occur for a variety of reasons, including hormonal changes, pregnancy, menopause, and trauma. It can even be caused by medical conditions such as juvenile hypertrophy of the breast, a rare condition that causes one breast to grow larger than the other.
While most people have some asymmetry, some people have a very obvious difference in size or shape. This not only harms your self-esteem, but it can also lead to additional issues, such as skin problems caused by improper undergarments or physical pain caused by the weight of your breasts.
Breast Asymmetry Correction Procedures
The procedure isn’t as simple as breast augmentation or breast reduction. Planning is one of the most crucial aspects of breast asymmetry correction. Before surgery, a qualified surgeon takes photos of the breasts and thoroughly examines them to ensure the best possible planning.
To make the operation satisfactory for the patient, the surgeon usually needs to operate on both breasts. The operation is full of small details that come together to form the perfect whole. Each patient requires a unique approach to both planning and application.
The surgeon may place implants in both breasts or reduce one while enhancing the other.
To have breast asymmetry correction, you must also:
> Be at least 18 years or older
> Be in good physical and mental health
> Have realistic expectations
